For whoever’s doing the hosting — the shower, hen party, or pre-wedding gathering that friends and family put together.

Description

You didn’t ask for this job. Someone decided you were the organised one, and now there’s a shower to plan, a group chat with too many opinions in it, and a bride who says she doesn’t mind but definitely minds.

This is fourteen pages that make it manageable.

It starts where the arguments start: who is hosting, who is paying for what, and saying the budget out loud to everyone contributing before anyone books anything. There’s a line on the first page for getting the guest list from the couple rather than guessing it — the single most common way a shower goes wrong.

Then the practical run of it: budget tracked estimate against actual, guest list with replies, food and dietary needs, a full run of day, and a games page with space for what each one needs and who runs it. Because the games are the part everyone remembers, and the part nobody plans properly.

No assumptions about alcohol, no assumptions about the shape of the couple, and dietary planning that treats halal, kosher and vegetarian as normal.
